Healing
Your Dog, Cat, Ferret, Horse, and other Animals with Safe, Natural and
Effective Non-Toxic Remedies
"Over the past 40 years and 17 generations of dogs and, cats we are
seeing tremendous increases in chronic ill health in our pets that was
rare back in the early 1960's. Most of these illnesses revolve around breakdown
in our pets' immune systems, and include chronic skin/ear allergies, digestive
upset, thyroid/adrenal/pancreatic disorders, seizures, gum/ teeth problems,
degenerative arthritis, kidney/liver failure, and cancer across all ages
and breeds. We are also seeing a record number of behavioral and emotional
disorders including alarming and unexplained fears/aggression., as well
as difficulty focusing/training and paying attention. The analogy of these
compared with escalating immune/behavioral diseases in children is quite
disturbing." Michael Dym D.V.M.more.
Holistic Animal Health: Animal Diseases and Natural
Cures
The two biggest factors in our pets' population health decline over
these generations has been the severe overuse of
multiple vaccines and nutrient
poor and toxin filled commercial pet foods. We have also failed to
address the underlying cause of disease by only suppressing symptoms with
antibiotics,
cortisone and related drugs, so the disease
progresses and goes deeper. Homeopathy offers
a viable alternative in truly curing pets and making their bodies healthier."
Michael
Dym D.V.M.
Dr. Jeffrey Levy DVM - "The greatest harm of drug treatment is
usually not so much the toxicity or side effects as it is the effects of
suppression. Allopathic (conventional Western) medical thinking generally
seeks immediate gratification: just make the symptom go away. So the patient
may be better in the short term, but is usually worse in the longer term.
Homeopathy is just the opposite: sometimes the symptoms are worse in the
short term (such as with aggravation or the reversal of a previous suppression),
but the real benefit is in the longer term. A symptom, say itchy skin,
is the body's response
to a deeper problem. When a symptom is suppressed, it is only the outward
manifestation of the problem that goes away. Since the deeper problem is
still there, the body may, in time, produce the same symptom again. Another
possibility is that, as a result of the suppression, the deeper problem
progresses to the point that a deeper, more serious symptom is produced.
So the itchy skin may go away, but then chronic diarrhea develops. If the
diarrhea is then suppressed as well, it may lead to, say, liver disease.
But hey, at least the skin is cleared up! I see this pattern, or variations
on it, very frequently in reviewing the medical records of new patients.
It is the unrecognized, and often high, price that we pay for the quick
fix, for immediate gratification, for the shot or pill that seems to make
the problem go away." Why
elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the
disease
Dr. Bernstein DVM - "Modern medicine feels, in most cases, that
the elimination of the symptom is the same as elimination of the disease.
In allopathic medicine a symptom is usually thought of as the patient's
real disease and the goal is to hold back, decrease or eliminate this symptom.
This is often done without addressing the underlying cause. If your tooth
hurts and we inject a local anesthetic, the pain goes away but that does
not mean the problem is gone! If we use medications to suppress these symptoms
then the vital force tries to create new symptoms to compensate for the
imbalance that is still there. If the vital force is strong then the original
symptom may return. Otherwise, it may be unable to express on the same
level and create a symptom that is more interior and could be much worse
per Herring's Law.
One example is a skin rash that is treated with cortisone. The rash
and itching will probably go away quickly. Later the patient begins to
exhibit liver problems that "were caused by the cortisone". The liver symptoms
are actually an expression of this suppressed imbalance on a deeper more
interior level. Many things can be suppressive. Vaccines and allopathic
medications are a major source of suppression where homeopathy is concerned,
but herbs, acupuncture and incorrect homeopathic remedies can also be suppressive."
Dr.
Bernstein DVM
Dr. Pat Bradley, DVM, Conway, USA - "The most common problems
I see that are directly related to vaccines on
a day to day basis are ear or skin
conditions, such as chronic discharges and
itching.
I also see behaviour problems such as fearfulness
or aggression. Often guardians will report
that these begin shortly after vaccination, and are exacerbated with every
vaccine. In a more general and frightening context, I see the overall health
and longevity of animals deteriorating. The bodies of most animals have
a tremendous capacity to detoxify poisons, but they do have a limit. I
think we often exceed that limit and over-whelm the body's immune system
function with toxins from vaccines, poor quality foods,
insecticides,
environmental toxins, etc. This is why we've seen such a dramatic increase
in allergies, organ failures, and behaviour
problems." Prevaccination
Protection Dr. Falconer D.V.M. explains how to protect your animal
from vaccines damage
Russell Swift, DVM "Although many symptoms can be very
difficult to tolerate, especially skin and ear problems, one must bear
in mind the very high cost (in terms of future wellness) one pays for simply
suppressing them. "Would I rather my dog itch or have liver problems?"
is the type of question an animal guardian needs to bear in mind whenever
the temptation to suppress a symptom arises.
A puppy has a skin rash. The rash is treated with medicine. After the rash
is gone, the puppy has diarrhea. This is a move from level one to level
two. This is going in the WRONG direction. The symptom has been suppressed
and the animal's immunity has been further weakened. The diarrhea is treated
with another medicine. The stools normalize but the pet begins to limp.
It has been suppressed to level three.
A cat has ringworm. The ringworm is treated with a medicine which makes
it disappear. However, the cat develops a urinary tract problem. Again,
this is movement from level one to level two meaning suppression. This
is treated with medicine and the cat has cardiomyopathy one year later.
This is suppression from level two to level four.
SICK
OF DRUGGING YOUR PET? There is a better way to bring
your pet to health!
Dr Charles E Loops DVM - "After
10 years of traditional veterinary practice I became tired of having no
treatment for chronic disease, incurable conditions, and a plethora of
allergic maladies which seem to plague all veterinary practices. I was
frustrated with giving animals cortisone because I had no other solutions,
or using antibiotics for infections which I knew were of viral origin.
There is so much that can be done for an animal, bird, or reptile that
is ailing by utilizing homeopathic medicine."

Our
pets are prone to suffer from minerals and trace mineral deficiency. For
optimum health, I supplement Shasta's
diet (and my diet too) with the following: fulvic
minerals or marine phytoplankton (consist
of an immense arsenal and array of naturally occuring powerful phytochemicals,
biochemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super
oxide dismutases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, antibiotics,
antivirals, and antifungals), bee pollen (rich in
naturally occuring vitamins), kelp (marine plants),
the
right kind of salt (not common table salt); magnesium
oil,(a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases
as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body). and clay
(to
promote healing and to detoxify) and with flaxoil
(also knows as linseed oil - rich source of omega3 fatty acids). Shasta
does not drink
tap water. I give her only filtered
water which is free from toxic chlorine and fluoride. I support my
immune system and that of my animals with Transfer Factor
and by raising our Glutathione
level. . I never cook or warm up food in a microwave
oven. Please read about the Hidden Hazards of
Microwave Cooking
I have witnessed the amazing
healing power of homeopathy,
herbal
extracts, Transfer
Factor,
Glutathione/Immunocal,
and marine
phytoplankton in traumatic emergency situations and in acute and chronic
disease with my own health, that of my family and my dogs: Nadja,
Shasta
and Kuuma. Some of the healings were nothing short
of miraculous, including my
own healing. When Nadja ate rat poison and was vomiting large amount
of green fluid, the vet said she didn't have a chance to survive. I saved
her life with the homeopathic remedy Arsenicum 10 M. If I need guidance,
I will get a phone consultation with a
holistic veterinarian. I had been chronically sick for years, addicted
to prescription and over the counter drugs. Unfortunately, instead of generating
a cure, the medications (steroids, antibiotics, antihistamine, etc.) merely
temporarily suppressed my symptoms, weakened my immune system, and in the
long run made me sicker. I completely turned my
health around with the incredible healing power of homeopathy, raw
food diet, herbs, and nutritional products
such as flaxoil,
chia
seeds or oil,clay,
seaweed
or plankton,
saccharides/glyconutrients,
and
Transfer
Factor. I'm not a doctor or a nurse, but when a member
of my family get sick or injured (including my animals) I immediately use
homeopathic medicine, herbs and nutritional supplements with excellent
results. Shirley
The State of Veterinary "Vaccinosis" - Animal Diseases
Caused by Vaccines
by Dr. Michael E Dym, VMD
Vaccination is often thought of by the conventional veterinary community
as a benign procedure intended to prevent certain acute diseases, with
side effects only occurring rarely. Unfortunately vaccination can
result in certain sensitive individuals a chronic
disease state that is long lasting, and indeed in some cases a life-long
condition. In human children ther is increasing evidence between vaccination
and chronic diseases such as autism, juvenile
diabetes and asthma.
The state of "vaccinosis" is understood as the disturbance of the life
force or chi of the patient that results in mental, emotional and physical
changes induced by laboratory modification of a viral disease to make a
vaccination. In other words, instead of seeing acute expressions
of viral disease, we are instead seeing symptoms of chronic illness over
years or a lifetime. For example, symptoms of acute distemper
viral infection in dogs include: eye and nose discharge, conjunctivitis,
vomiting/diarrhea and loss of appetite, watery feces with blood, mucous
and often a foul odor; spasms/seizures and paralysis; eruptions around
the mouth; swelling of feet with often red foot pads; pneumonia, skin eruptions
and in chronic cases emaciation. This list of symptoms
show the typical symptoms of acute distemper illness in dogs. However
some of these symptoms are often seen in chronic illness in dogs.
Examples include chronic runny eyes/conjunctivitis(disease seen as
chronic tear stains in dogs, dry eye, chronic eye allergies), chronic
vomiting/diarrhea/appetite issues/emaciation(disease seen pancreatitis,
inflammatory bowel disease, GI lymphoma), chronic spasms and seizures(disease
seen epilepsy, brain tumors) skin eruptions/swelling of feet/red feet pads(chronic
disease seen itching life long skin allergies), eruptions aroundmouth(chronic
disease seen lip fold dermatitis). What I have seen in private practice
is that vaccines like distemper for acute illness can contribute to symptoms
seen in chronic disease and pathologies.
Symptoms of rabies include restlessness, viciousness, avoidance of company.
unusual affection; desire to travel, inability to be restrained; self biting;
strange cries and course howls; inability to swallow resulting in gagging
when eating/drinking; staring eyes; swallows wood, stones, in-edibles;
destruction of blankets, clothing; convulsive seizures; throat spasms;
increased sexual desire; disturbed heart function; excited and jerky breathing;
My biggest concern with pets are the changes in
behavior after being vaccinated with either distemper or rabies.
This is usually along the lines of aggression, suspicion, unusual fears,
etc. The essential aspect in rabies vaccinosis is loss of control of impulses.
Many pets may exhibit any or many of the above behaviors indefinitely
such as "reverse sneezing" and increased mounting seen in neutered pets.
Conventional medicine does not explain these odd symptoms, but homeopathically
these pets may be exhibiting symptoms of rabies vaccinosis, and occur fairly
commonly in my opinion. Other vaccinations also contribute
in their own way to chronic illness in our pets i.e bordatella/kennel
cough vaccination often leads to chronic coughing in dogs(i.e diagnosed
as collapsing trachea, COPD, or possibly eventually heart disease);
leptospirosis vaccination often leads to chronic liver or kidney disease
down the road, as well as chronic skin allergies in my experience.
You certainly need to follow the law with regards to rabies vaccination,
however most other vaccinations are optional and not necessary particularly
in adult pets.. Like other vaccinations, rabies vaccination
often gives several years if not life long immunity(see www.rabieschallengefund.org
) A homeopathic remedy given at the time of some immunizations
can help reduce side effects. If your pet is suffering from chronic
disease or cancer, then some states will allow a rabies exemption letter,
or possibly a rabies titer blood test instead of vaccination. If your
pet is suffering from the above chronic disease symptoms, especially in
the days to months following a vaccination, then he/she should be evaluated
by a homeopathic veterinarian to try and cure this chronic disease state
over time. Your pet also should never be vaccinated if your pet
is not healthy and/or chronically ill. To

Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly
see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies,
asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections,
cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy,
the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had
years of disease. Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course,
by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune
system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes,
or hypothyroidism, Transfer Factor can balance this overactivity so the
system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t
be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active
as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer
Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges
it needs to be alert to." Prevaccination

Sam Jones, DVM - "Two cats, both about 8 years old, had severe
diabetes. It was impossible to get the insulin requirements adjusted. They
had lost weight to a point that they were skin and bones. Both cats had
no quality of life left. The cats were given Transfer
Factor along with a healthy diet to help support their immune system.
A week later, we were able to get their insulin requirements adjusted.
It is now 6 months and they have regained their weight and have a great
quality of life and health."
Just like humans, domesticated animals like dogs and cats are affected
by the health hazards of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition, stress
and unhealthy lifestyles can lead to a variety of illnesses and conditions
that are very similar to those experienced by humans. These days, emotional
and psychological problems like depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral
problems are just as prevalent in pets as they are in their owners.
Similarly, physical ailments such as diabetes,
arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, cystitis, kidney and liver
disease, skin disorders, obesity, thyroid dysfunction and other problems
are becoming more and more common in domesticated animals. Many, if not
most of these conditions can be prevented by helping your pets to live
a healthier lifestyle. For pets already suffering from existing conditions,
a combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine can work wonders!
Dr. Jimmy Gutman, M.D - "Clinical evidence links low glutathione
levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging
diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally
associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency.""To
raise glutathione levels is to reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive
free radicals and help detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs
to. Only Immunocal is clinically proven to
do that in a safe, effective and convenient way."

The
Importance of a Healthy Immune System The key to self-healing is a
strong defense system, which protects dogs and cats from everything from
the flu germs to cancer cells. More than their mainstream counterparts,
holistic veterinarians believe that a weak immune system plays a key role
in causing disease. Antibiotics fight infection, but they don't affect
whatever weakened the immune system in the first place. This is why
holistic veterinarians focus less on things that cause diseases and more
on those that affect the body's defenses. more

of the skin or excessive
licking of the paws, sometimes even with no
eruptions. We see a lot of epilepsy,

Vaccinations may even contribute to premature death in animals some
veterinarians believe. "I had two situations where we had spent a long
time building up two older, severely immunocompromised dogs, and then their
owners had them vaccinated for just about everything known to man," recalled
Dr. Carvel Tiekert, executive director and founder of the American Holistic
Veterinary Medical Association headquartered in Bel Air, Maryland. "Both
of those dogs died within about a month of vaccination. Can we prove a
cause and effect? No. Do I think there was a cause and effect? Yes." more

Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, is one of the most common canine
hormone imbalances. This was not always the case. In recent decades, hypothyroidism
diagnoses are on the rise. In mammals, the endocrine system is a system
of glands, each of which secretes a type of hormone directly into the bloodstream,
that regulate the body. The thyroid gland, one of the largest endocrine
glands, controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, regulates
calcium and controls the body’s sensitivity to other hormones.
Research shows that in most dogs, hypothyroidism is caused by problems
in the dogs'
own immune systems. In most cases, it is caused by an inherited autoimmune
disease called autoimmune thyroiditis (also known as lymphocytic thyroiditis).
This autoimmune disease results in the atrophy and destruction of the thyroid
gland tissue. Very often, several different areas in the body will be affected
as a result, e.g. the skin, the thyroid, and the digestive system.
The thyroid is critical to metabolic processes and affects the functionality
of almost every other organ in the body. The endocrine system is highly
sensitive, and its delicate dance of hormones can be disrupted, potentially
resulting in disease. In dogs, the most common hormonal disorder diagnosed
is hypothyroidism. Typically, hypothyroidism occurs in dogs from 4-10 years
of age, though in rare instances dogs can actually be born with it. Because
the thyroid hormone affects the metabolism of the whole body, the clinical
signs can be non-specific. That being said, dogs with hypothyroidism often
exhibit low energy levels, weight gain, hair loss, a dull hair coat and
concurrent skin infections.
Hypothyroidism can be mistaken for other endocrine disorders, and is
best diagnosed by a complete thyroid panel blood test. The tricky thing
about the thyroid gland is that the level of hormone release can be influenced
by other physical factors, making true hypothyroidism difficult to diagnose.
For example, stress caused by other illnesses can reduce thyroid function.
Often, when these issues are addressed, thyroid levels normalize without
additional treatment. Studies have shown that dogs treated with topical
steroids or phenobarbital (to control seizures) can artificially lower
thyroid hormone. If your dog takes a long-term medication with thyroid-related
side effects, treatment may be necessary to minimize the impact.
Almost 80% of all canine hypothyroidism cases are caused by an autoimmune
inflammatory disorder, called lymphocytic thyroiditis. Just like humans,
domesticated animals like dogs and cats are affected by the health hazards
of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy lifestyles
can lead to a variety of illnesses and conditions that are very similar
to those experienced by humans. more...

Illness does not occur without
cause. Causes may originate in many areas. Underlying causes of illness
and disease must be identified and removed before complete recovery can
occur. Symptoms can be expressions of the body's attempt to defend itself,
to adapt and recover, to heal itself, or may be results of the causes of
disease. Excerpt from

Do
not defrost or warm up your animal's food in the microware
oven!
The
Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking Recent research shows that
microwave oven-cooked food suffers severe molecular damage. When eaten,
it causes abnormal changes in human blood and immune systems. Not surprisingly,
the public has been denied details on these significant health dangers.
Arthur Young DVM always
advises his clients to add glyconutrients/saccharides to their pets
diet. Decades of consuming nutritionally questionable commercial pet food
products, the proven harmful effects of over vaccination, combined with
the unfortunate dependency on steroids and antibiotics have, according
to many reliable sources greatly contributed to a national decline in animal
health. The innate ability of the body to heal itself has been seriously
compromised in many animals, particularly dogs, cats, and horses. Glyconutrients
are compatible with any type of treatment prescribed by both conventional
and alternative practitioners. These essential carbohydrates strengthen
the body’s inner environment which, in turn, enhances the energy that stimulates
the immune system, as well as a process called “cell communication”. This
communication network results in all of the organs working with one another
in an orderly sequence of body reactions. Without these activities, good
health is impossible to attain. Although the formulation is produced for
human consumption, holistic veterinarians have also recognized the importance
of glyconutrients in supporting the handling of health challenges in animals.
Credit goes to G?nter Blobel, M.D., Ph.D. (Rockefeller University), winner
of the 1999 Nobel Prize for Medicine "for the discovery that (glyco) proteins
have intrinsic signals that govern their transport and localization in
the cell."
Dr.
Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton
contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health
by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.
Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods
on the planet". Patients receiving a cancer drug together with phytoplankton
exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by
the drug alone. These advanced cancer patients experienced regressions
of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung
cancer, and other types of cancer. Its antioxidants andunique polysaccharides
(glyconutrients)
can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer.
Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina
by improving our animal's ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens
also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation,
and continue to work overtime while your pet is resting by supporting muscle
growth and repair.
Feeding marine
phytoplankton and other sea plant algae to your pet helps promote: shiny
hair coat and supple skin - Healthier and stronger newborns - Improved
milk production in lactating bitches and queens - Improved reproductive
performance both for male and female - Aids in the healing process by offering
the vitamins and minerals necessary for tissue repair - Better utilization
and absorption of nutrients from foods ingested. more
Dr. Felix Oswald says: "Serious sickness prompts all animals to fast.
Wounded deer will retire to some secluded den and starve for weeks together."
Dr. Erwin Liek, endorses fasting and observes that "small children and
animals, guided by an infallible instinct, limit to the utmost their intake
of food if they are sick or injured."
A dog or cat, if sick or wounded, will crawl under the wood shed
or retire to some other secluded spot and rest and fast until well. Occasionally
he will come out for water. These animals will, when wounded or sick, persistently
refuse the most tempting food when offered to them. Physical and physiological
rest and water are their remedies. A sick cow or horse will also refuse
food. The author has seen this in many hundreds of cases. In fact, all
nature obeys this instinct. Thus does nature teach us that the way to feed
in acute "disease" is not to do it.
Domestic cattle may often be found suffering from some chronic "disease."
Such animals invariably consume less food than the normal animal. Every
stockman knows that when a cow, or horse, or hog, or sheep, etc., persistently
refuses food, or day after day consumes much less than normally, there
is something wrong with that animal.
Dr. Oswald tells of a dog that had been put into the loft of a barn
by the sergeant of a cavalry regiment. Losing its balance, while in the
door of the loft and barking, it fell, turning a few somersaults as it
came down, and landed on the hard pavement, "with a crack that seemed to
have broken every bone in his body." He says "blood was trickling from
his mouth and nose when we picked him up, and the troopers advised me to
'put him out of his misery,' but he was my little brother's pet, and, after
some hesitation, I decided to take him home in a basket and give the problem
of his care the benefit of a fractional chance. Investigation proved that
he had broken two legs and three ribs, and judging by the way he raised
his head and gasped for air, every now and then, it seemed probable that
his lungs had been injured."
For twenty days and twenty nights the little terrier stuck
to life in its cotton-lined basket without touching a crumb of solid food,
but ever ready to take a few drops of water, in preference even to milk
or soup. At the end of the third week it broke its fast with a saucerful
of sweet milk, but only on the evening of the twenty-sixth day did it begin
to betray any interest in a plateful of meat scraps.
Irwin Liek, noted German physician and surgeon, tells of
instinctive fasting in three of his dogs. One of these had been run over
by a truck which had broken several bones and injured it internally. The
other had "devoured a considerable quantity of rat poison. It became very,
very ill, suffered from diarrhea containing blood and pus" and "collapsed
completely." The third lost an eye while "mixing it" with a cat. All three
of these dogs fasted and recovered. More:Fasting

fasting:"To this day I do not believe that I have ever discovered a
healing technique (fasting) quite as powerful. I have recommended
fasting for 10,000 to 20,000 animals and have seen true miracles over these
years of practice.

- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier." More

Microwater
machines generate alkalineliving, energized water. This
healing water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink. In fact the Microwater ionizer water filter
is listed as a medical device in Japan and is used in the treatment of
several degenerative diseases. Ionized water has several health promoting
qualities. Acid/alkaline balance is important in keeping the body
strong, healthy, and free of stress. Drinking alkaline water is the simplest
and most effective way to remove (flush out) acidic wastes from our body.
Removing acid waste has also been attributed to reversing the aging process.
(Read more on this from the book Reverse
Aging by Sang Whang.) Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi,
M.D. wrote an important
article on the healing
power of water. (Dr.Hayashi is the director of the Water Institute of Japan.)
The alkaline water ionizer machine do more than simply purify tap water.
It transform tap water into a living, energized, alkaline water. For

Juliette
de Bairacli Levy says that the two most important aspects of natural
animal rearing are: fasting and
raw diet."
"Often the first indication
of sickness is that an animal goes off its food - an observation that has
led many traditional herbalists to conclude that fasting is a natural and
beneficial response to sickness... This lack of appetite can be an effective
way of speeding recovery. Bacteria need iron, and the body makes many adjustments
to reduce the availability of iron during an infection. If an animal keeps
eating, any iron in its food also feeds the pathogens, so force-feeding
a sick animal or patient can be counterproductive. Fever reduces appetite,
so if a fever is artificially suppressed with drugs and appetite returns,
not only do we lower temperature but the increased iron intake can keep
the infection going longer. The traditional dictum 'Starve a fever' is
medically sound advice." Cindy Engel "

- "Occasional fasting by cats and dogs is a normal, natural phenomenon,
especially when natural raw, fresh foods are fed. As long as your pet appears
strong with good energy and clear responsiveness, self imposed fasting
oftentimes ends by itself with a renewed gusto for life. The system requires
periodic rest and purification and so it is taken naturally. Occasional
fasting is natural in the cat and dog; it is the behavior of rest and purification.
Cleaning the bowl of all the commercial food every day, day in and day
out is unnatural and is the harbinger of most chronic disease seen in our
pet population. When nutritional depletions have been satiated on the natural
raw food diet, overeating does not take place. Overeating is a behavior
encouraged by feeding commercial food, overeating does not occur in the
natural setting. Overeating deprives the system of rest and purification,
for in a nutritionally deficient state the body continues to crave; making
the mind confused. The mind then can only satiate itself through the dullness
of further overeating. This is not living; it is survival mode. " more It is estimated that fasting
for the alleviation of human suffering has been practiced uninterruptedly
for 10,000 years. Learn more

"The main cause of yeast infections, such as Candida Albicans, is from
grain-based foods. Dogs were never meant to eat grains. Their main diet
in the wild is raw meat and vegetation. The only
grains they ever get are already predigested in the stomach or the bowels
of their prey. Cooked foods—anything in a can or a bag, vaccines—which
compromise and destroy the natural immune system, and antibiotics—which
kill the friendly bacteria which would ordinarily fight and overwhelm
the yeast, any other drugs are all additional reasons for seeing such a
preponderance of yeast infections. Symptoms include: chronic ear infections;
incessant licking of the genitals or the paws or both; lick granulomas;
habitual scratching, usually the ears, sides of the torso and underbelly;
rashes, most often on the underbelly; and when the yeast begins to move
into the head; loss of hearing; loss of eyesight; loss of intelligence,
memory and comprehension. Yeast infections always start somewhere in the
digestive system; then move to the genital area or to the ears; then finally
to the brain, taking over the entire body. It is insidious. Very often
these problems are treated with antibiotics or steroids, which only make
matters worse."

Candida albicans is a yeast-like fungus that normally lives in healthy
balance in the body, found mostly in the intestines, genital tract, mouth,
and throat. When the balance is upset, infection results. This is known
as Candidiasis and the fungus travels to all parts of the body through
the bloodstream. Safe
and effective herbal remedies are available for the treatment of yeast

-"Short periods of diarrhea are very helpful in removing the
impurities reflective of a healthy active immune system doing its job effectively
in enhancing Wellness. These short lived bouts of purification are nothing
to be concerned about as long as the animal is bright eyed and bushy tailed.
To allow for quick return to normal stool the best thing for the colon
is to rest, and this can only be done through
fasting.
Clean water (free of fluoride and chlorine) should
always be available as long as the dog or cat is not vomiting. Vomiting
AND diarrhea together can present a serious situation, and professional
Veterinary advice and/or care should be sought. A fast for a day or two
after some diarrhea is usually all that is necessary to rest the bowels.
Break the fast by feeding raw meat, ? cup to 2 cups depending on the size
of the dog or a ? cup or 1/8 cup to a cat . Feeding raw meat is like tea
and toast for humans when we’re not feeling quite right."
Chronic
Intermitten Diarrhea and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth "The condition is usually
seen in young dogs, who develop chronic intermittent diarrhea which gradually
gets worse, and lose weight or fail to gain weight normally. Some dogs
may only show weight loss and in others there may be vomiting. In this
condition, there is a dramatic increase in the number of bacteria in the
small intestine, and this interferes with normal absorption of nutrients.
The result is chronic intermittent diarrhea, and weight loss or failure
to gain weight."
Inflamatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS) "After six years of escalating misery, all of my cat’s inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) symptoms disappeared—quite literally—within 24
hours of making the complete transition to a
raw, grainless diet. That was nearly three years ago and the
symptoms have not returned. Ultimately, I came to the realization that
I was putting my IBD cat at much greater risk by feeding species-inappropriate
commercial foods than by feeding him a carefully-prepared, balanced, grain-free,
raw meat based diet. Interestingly, plenty of other folks I know
with cats that have digestive troubles report this same experience.
A grain-free diet “does the trick” for these IBD cats, but a raw diet with
grains does not. Why is that? They’re carnivores." Anne
Jablonski On Balanced Homemade Diets and Feline IBD
Paunch manure has
done wonders to firm up my dog's soft stool by improving his digestiong
Slippery
elm can be useful in treating digestive conditions with inflamed mucous
membrane linings such as gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, enteritis,
and colitis, where it has a soothing demulcent action.
Clay not only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea
and constipation through local application; it acts on all the organs—on
the whole organism. Everything unhealthy, that emits negative radiations
is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination.
" Dr. Cohen
.
(Note: I mixed a couple of teaspoons of
clay into my dog's food and within days his stools were firm again. I continue
to mix clay into his food everyday to provide him with important nutrients.
Shirley)
Inflamatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Inflamatory Bowel Syndrome
(IBS) is an autoimmune disease. Christie
Keith writes that she has known at least three dogs diagnosed with
IBD who responded to a switch to a grain-free homemade
diet (raw OR cooked, it didn't matter) with the addition of the herbs
peppermint and alfalfa. One of these dogs also was given the herb slippery
elm. They all three came off of flagyl and prednisone and lived (or
are still living) perfectly healthy, normal lives. Only if their owners
gave them grains again did they regress. I agree with Christie. Boosting
the animal's immune system can yield good results
At age 2, when our German
Shepherd Dog, Shasta, came to our home,
she had chronic loose, smelly stools and was severely underweight
A gradual change from her diet of kibble and canned food to an all raw
food resolved the problem. For the past 10 years her stools have been
consistently firm and she gained weight. Shirley
Dr.
Michael E Dym DVM - "The research is likely alarmingly
occurring with the epidemic levels of inflammatory bowel disease in our
pets seen over the past few decades that was rare 30 years
ago. Just think how many POLYVALENTLY vaccinated dogs with distemper
(a measles virus) are suffering such chronic infections and pathology in
their intestines. I wish that someone would do the research in pets,
but of course we all know that this will never happen. But I wonder
how many academically-oriented veterinary gastroenterologists would be
interested in reading Dr. Wakefield's research, and examining this issue
in our dogs and cats, who are the true victims here. At least it would
open up for academic discussion potential origins of this "new" disease
of the past few decades.
Don Hamilton, DVM - "The
panleukopenia virus of cats induces an intense, rapidly progressive malfunction
in the digestive tract, leading to vomiting and/or diarrhea. In adult vaccinated
animals this translates into a chronic state of diarrhea and sometimes
vomiting. This disease is known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
an autoimmune disease of the intestines. IBD has been occurring at near
epidemic levels over the past several years; no other reasonable explanation
has been proposed for the proliferation of cases of the disease." more

Some veterinarians believe
that inflammatory bowel disease occurs when the pancreas is working harder
than it should to produce enzymes.
Giving your dog or cat digestive enzymes made for pets allows the pancreas
to work more efficiently. Another excellent product is Immunocal
which helps support the immune system.
Digestive
Enzymes and Probiotics helps promote a healthy balance of bacteria
and protect your body against harmful invading microorganisms.
"Diarrhea, abdominal pain,
severe inflammation of the colon (colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, skin

dehydration, potassium deficiencies, allergies, colon perforation, bad
breath, excess stomach gas, yeast problems, nutritional deficiencies and
constipation are just some of the many side effects and problems linked

Why
I won't use the Elizabethan collar on my animals - The Elizabethan
collar is a type of plastic collar that is effective in preventing pets
from licking or biting themselves. The only time I will use such collar
is to prevent my dog from tearing up surgical sutures, until healing is
complete. I will never use such collar to prevent my dog from licking skin
eruptions, hot spots, or infected area anywhere on her body. The dog's
skin has an amazing
ability to heal very quickly. Minor cuts, tears or abrasion heal with great
ease thanks in part to a healing aid found in the dog's saliva. This
built in germicide found in the saliva of a dog amazingly heals wounds
in record time.
An important part of hygiene
and cleanliness is the tiger's rasping tongue. In a typical grooming action
the tiger will lick its paws and use them to wipe over the face, ears and
forehead. This is identical to the actions used by the domestic cat. Any
injuries are carefully licked and coated with antiseptic saliva from the
tongue. This aids in preventing infection entering into a wound. More
on cleanlisness and tongue of the cat. I find that preventing
a dog from licking its skin or wounds is sad and cruel. Shirley
My
German Shepherd dog was attacked by a Pitbull and sustained a horrible
3" to 4" gaping wound on his leg, exposing his bone. I never took him to
the vet. I treated him with natural remedies at home and allowed him to
lick his wound as much as he wanted to. He never had an infection or a
fever and within two weeks his wound was completely healed. Shirley

"Recently we purchased an
Elizabethan Collar for my rottweiler who had an eye infection. Apollo
was unlike any other dog. He did not have a mean bone in his body.
We purchased the collar from Pet Smart. No one gave us any instructions
or warnings on what can happen to your dog with this collar on. After the
second day, Apollo became agressive and acted as if he couldn't see or
comprehend his surroundings. My husband and I tried to help him and
take the collaroff
but he attacked my husband and we ended up having to shoot him right there
on the spot. We were given an orange collar. Have you heard
on any other incidents involving this collar? I want to find out
as much as I can. Apollo was 5 years old and showed no signs of agression
prior to the collar. I feel like I have lost my son. We even
called a vet in regards to the collars and they gave no warnings.
I have been hearing of more and more incidents of dogs biting someone because
of this collar. These dogs also did not show any agression prior.
I know Rotts have a bad name but Apollo was the best and most intelligent
dog I have ever had." Sabrina, Fredericksburg, VA, benecula@yahoo.com
Clay is renowned to have
many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite,
Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous
cultures since before recorded history. According to Knishinsky, benefits
reported by people using liquid clay for a period of two to four weeks
include: improved intestinal regularity; relief from chronic constipation,
diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer
complexion; brighter, whiter eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift;
improved tissue and gum repair; and increased resistance to infections.
Clay works on the entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched
by its healing energies, he notes. (Pascalite clay is renowned for its
natural antibiotic properties) learn more about the

state that processed pet food is the main cause of illness and premature
death in the modern dog and cat. In December 1995, the British Journal
of Small Animal Practice published a paper contending that processed pet
food supresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart and
other diseases. Dr. Kollath, of the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, headed
a study done on animals. When young animals were fed cooked and processed
foods they initially appeared to be healthy. However, as the animals reached
adulthood, they began to age more quickly than normal and also developed
chronic degenerative disease symptoms. A control group of animals raised
on raw foods aged less quickly and were free of degenerative disease. For
a return to health, pets require a diet which strengthens the immune system
and most closely resembles that which they would get in the wild. It's
really easy to do. Click here to learn more

"The
commercial food we are feeding' is the disease we are treating---so treat
on and on, curing one disease after another, again and again. A narrow
definition of disease makes for multiple cures. The multiple diseases are
in reality the same disease rearing it's different heads. The disease;
not an entity in itself, but a combination of symptoms produced by the
body in trying to remove something it no longer wants. What it wants is
to remove an abstract sense of dis-ease, some feeling of discomfort, but
it
can't quite do it. A weakened system short of appropriate building blocks
just pushes the same dis-ease throughout the body and mind. As this happens
the symptoms change as would the food we eat and the things we see as we
travel the world around. There are different forms in different places,
even in the body and mind. All the body is trying to do is get rid of what
it no longer wants; but just can't quite do it on its own."
William Winter DVM - "Following
my great success recommending raw natural diets, I began to explore other
aspects of Ms. Levy's Natural Rearing. I explored fasting.
To this day I do not believe that I have ever discovered a healing technique
quite as powerful. I have recommended fasting for 10,000 to 20,000
animals and have seen true miracles over these years of practice. Ms. Levy
says it is one of the TWO MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF NATURAL REARING. The
other being a raw diet. It can be said
that I will start every chronic patient on a fast and begin recommending
fasting for all animals beginning at about one year of
age." William

Our soil, plants, and especially
commercial foods are woefully deficient in key nutrients. Scientists
theorize that mineral deficiency subjects us, and our animals, to
more diseases, aging, sickness and destruction of our physical well-being
than any other factor in personal health. Preventing and healing animal
cancer, arthritis, and other disease; improving temperament and behavioural
problems, digestive disorders, skin disorders, bone and joint disorders
and more with naturally occuring nutritional supplements. A groundswell
of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to recommend to their
clients that they supplement their animals diet with a daily dose of flaxseed
oil and other nutrients for optimum health and vitality. The food your
animal eats should provide all of the nutritional components which are
necessary for all organs and systems of a healthy body to perform in harmonious
unison. A properly functioning body does an amazing job at preventing disease
and healing itself, and to do this it requires the energies and nutrients
of a well-balanced diet. In terms of finding the proper diet for our companions,
this means learning to look beyond our own needs, opinions, and agendas
to address the natural needs of the animals that we caretake.
